• Partner closely with business stakeholders across Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Relationship Management
• Translate complex technical concepts into clear business solutions and recommendations
• Collaborate with developers and IT teams to identify enhancements, optimizations, and system improvements
• Troubleshoot and resolve application issues, data discrepancies, and user queries
• Support and enhance CRM workflows, datasets, and reporting capabilities
• Contribute to the strategic vision and roadmap for the firm’s CRM platform

What We’re Looking For

• Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, Computer Science, or a related field
• Strong experience in application development, CRM systems, or enterprise platforms
• 7+ years of Strong programming experience in C#, Python, or Java, .NET / .NET Core in a similar financial services environment
• Hands‑on experience with Microsoft Azure (App Services, Azure SQL, cloud-native development)
• Advanced experience with SQL Server and complex querying (CTEs, window functions, data modeling, etc.)
• Proven experience building integration solutions (APIs, ETL pipelines, data workflows)
• Familiarity with CRM platforms (Salesforce, Pardot, Marketo, or similar—no deep specialization required)
• Understanding of core CRM data models (Accounts, Contacts, Leads, Opportunities, Campaigns )
• Experience working across the full application lifecycle (requirements → development → deployment → support)
• Strong communication skills with the ability to engage both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Ability to work independently while collaborating in a cross-functional, fast-paced environment
• Experience in financial services, asset management, or similar industries preferred

Nice to Have

• Experience with Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, or Snowflake
• Familiarity with CI/CD and Azure DevOps
• Background in financial services, asset management, or consulting
